Or the fact that he's still better for the foreseeable future than any White Sox catcher could be a reason that wagon was rolling.

I won't get into the whole thing again, but the team pretty obviously right now doesn't have a plan to realistically compete, so it saved itself $7 million on a stopgap. I was fine with signing him if the team went in the other direction, but they haven't.
